WordPress Plugins & Themes Scraper: Installs & Ratings

Search the official WordPress.org plugin and theme directories and get structured data for each item: name, slug, version, author, active installs, total downloads, rating and rating breakdown, support threads (total and resolved), required WordPress and PHP versions, "tested up to" version, last updated date, tags, short description, homepage, icon or screenshot and links. Browse popular, new, updated, top-rated or featured lists, or filter by tag or author. Uses the official WordPress.org API. No login, no API key.

Who is it for?

• Plugin and theme developers tracking competitors' installs, ratings and update activity.
• Agencies and freelancers choosing well-maintained plugins for client sites.
• Security and hosting companies monitoring popular or abandoned plugins.
• Investors and marketers sizing WordPress niches and finding acquisition targets.

How to use it

3. Add slugs (e.g. woocommerce) to look up specific items, and set max results.
4. Click Start and export to CSV, Excel or JSON.

Input example

{"directories": ["plugins"], "searchQueries": ["seo"], "browse": "popular", "maxResultsPerSearch": 100}

{"type": "plugin", "slug": "seo-by-rank-math", "name": "Rank Math SEO – AI SEO Tools to Dominate SEO Rankings", "version": "1.0.280", "activeInstalls": 4000000, "downloads": 200820907, "rating": 4.8, "ratingCount": 7517, "testedUpTo": "7.1.3", "requiresPhp": "7.4", "lastUpdated": "2026-10-06 12:43pm GMT", "url": "https://wordpress.org/plugins/seo-by-rank-math/"}

How much does it cost?

Pay-per-event: a small fee per plugin or theme returned, plus a tiny per-run start fee, with no subscription and no separate platform usage costs. For example, 1,000 items cost about $1. Searches with no results are not charged. Set Maximum cost per run to cap your spending.

Use it through the API, integrations or AI agents

Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets. AI agents can find and call it through the Apify MCP server. Output is clean JSON with the same fields on every run.

FAQ

Is it legal? Yes. It reads public directory data from WordPress.org's official, documented API at a polite rate. It does not download plugin code or collect any personal details beyond the public author name shown in the directory.

How accurate are active installs? WordPress.org rounds active installs (e.g. 4,000,000+), so treat them as ranges.

Can I track changes over time? Yes. Schedule a weekly run and compare installs, ratings and versions.
